Question

I am in the middle of a bread meal and want to go to a neighbor to take something from him. Is it permissible to leave and return to the meal?

Answer

Leaving for an extended period is forbidden unless one goes for the purpose of a mitzvah, or initially intended to leave and continue eating elsewhere. Leaving for a short time is permitted.
